Blog Cabin 2013 was lifted in preparation for the construction of a new, sturdy foundation. And then news of Superstorm Sandy hit the airwaves. Before the hurricane came ashore with tropical storm-force winds, the Blog Cabin 2013 general contractor strapped the home down to the ground and then built a sand berm around the structure to keep tidal waters from washing away the cribbings. Sandy moved inland, leaving our circa-1892 coastal cottage virtually unscathed.Take a few moments to watch the amazing time-lapse video of the home lifting process and discover more about the history of this fascinating coastal North Carolina home, lovingly cared for and tended by members of the Robinson family.

OPEN CONCEPT will be great and move the kitchen to have an eat in bar with dinning area close by. open concept.

Great video of lifting the house. This is just the beginning. I can't wait to see the progress after this. Love to see an old home that was precious to someone in the earlier years be renovated.

Got-er-done…LOL

Great to see expert work on such a special treasure. I was concerned about the home when I heard about the storm's path. I have already fallen in love with the house and the location.

Fantastic video. I had no idea something like that could be done. It was very professional as well!

I am so excited about this location, as I am from Down East aka the crystal coast!! I cannot wait to see this cabin cottage built, I feel as if I am viewing a dream I had about this beautiful cottage.

This one is going to be what I think as the ultimate fun house. Swimming, fishing, and just having friends and family come will be great for anyone who will get the change to win this new one. I've been watching you guys do some of the most wonderful renovations and of course new one's as well and your all great minds working together to create something wonderful for someone and that's really nice.
I alway try to keep up with what's about to happen, to it's reconstruction and all the way to watching who is the new winner. Hopefully one day it might be me but all in all your all really great at using your minds to create something really nice and I love to watch you do such great work.

Wow that was amazing. I didn't even know you could do that! I would think it would just really start to crumble as it was being lifted due to the age. Seems I learn something new everyday watching DIY! I can't wait for the next step. Great job guys, be safe!
